The trade war wasn't started by Trump, it's been going on for years, and China has been winning while we've been losing. I don't like the idea of a trade war, but I'm not sure what other alternative would get China, and other countries, to stop engaging in unfair trade practices.

The American people have been winning Ruby. Chinese people have been working cheap to provide us with nice stuff at good prices.

Trump wants to change that?

He wants Americans to have to pay higher prices for lots of stuff? And that would mean we were "winning"?

Do you actually know what you're talking about Ruby, or are you just regurgitating some talking points you've heard from one of Trump's hillbillies.

So is it just China that's not playing fair with the US or is it all the other countries Trump decided to take on?

Give us your best argument on China if you prefer, or any of the others.

Would it be o.k. with you if I started out with Canada's softwood lumber fight with the US?

Whatever fight you consider yourself the expert on, is fine with me though.
